Best classic Iron Maiden melody or twin guitars?

Afraid to Shoot Strangers is a good contender indeed.

I'd have two different sections from The Lonliness of the Long Distance Runner, the bit between the second chorus and the "I've got to keep running" section, and then the whole outro section.

I remember those parts. More contundent but still classic maiden melodies.
 
The examples are quite a few for me:

Brave New World (essential), Aces High (essential too), Out Of The Silent Planet, Hell On Earth, Time Machine, Red And The Black, If Eternity Should Fail, Rainmaker, Dance Of Death, Judgement Of Heaven(!), When Two Worlds Collide, Afraid To Shoot Strangers (ofc), Wasting Love, Long Distance Runner main melody, Rime's melody, Revelations, The Prisoner, Hallowed By They Name (all), Prowler, Transylvania...

Melodies/Twin leads that immediately comes to mind:

1. Flash Of The Blade (main harmony)
2. Out Of The Silent Planet (verse melody)
3. Rainmaker (harmonic part right after the solo)
4. Speed Of Light (the lead melody; has been my mobile ringtone since a decade!)
5. The Evil That Men Do (chorus melody)
 
Gosh, it's like picking your favorite kid... For songs where the harmony/melody isn't the main theme of the song, I'd have to go with.

Purgatory
Innocent Exile
Where Eagles Dare
Powerslave
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Infinite Dreams
Afraid to Shoot Strangers
Brave New World
The Legacy (the dual lead before the 'We seem destined to live in fear' bit)

Hey kalata you were right at the end of the song classic maiden twin guitars
 
Since 99 % of Iron Maiden's twin guitar melodies are just minor 3rds added (with maybe one note going to 4th) I'd bring in the main riff from the song Iron Maiden.

The first guitar plays the melody and the second guitar starts with that + minor third but goes down to -5th.
